Leeds Rumours Mobile

26 Jul 2026 10:53:07.
Reportedly Perri booked in Turin for medical Tuesday, so either Leeds unveil Trafford tomorrow or we have a squeaky period with 1 keeper!

26 Jul 2026 12:34:32
They won't let Perri go unless they've two lined up; otherwise, selling clubs will know you're desperate to recruit. Trafford should be one. Not sure about the other.
We need to get Trafford tied up as Martinez is not happy at Villa, and although he's returning to pre-season, he is very much on Juve's radar.

26 Jul 2026 13:17:11
Trafford, and then find someone from the Championship as backup. Is it Johnston at Wolves?

26 Jul 2026 13:48:54
Definitely need at minimum 1 keeper. Hopefully, we have a young keeper on our books we can trust as a back up.
Cairns, for me, isn't the one.
I think we dropped the ball with Darlow, personally.

26 Jul 2026 13:58:46
Yes Mighty, we deffo dropped the ball with Darlow.

26 Jul 2026 14:00:43
Agree, LLF. Johnston is the sort of back up you need. Experience, reasonably good career, but someone who is at the end of it. No good getting a good youngster, as they don't progress. They need to be bought and loaned out.

26 Jul 2026 14:13:25
100% on Darlow. Spose the owners still believe in loyalty over dollars. Worrying.

26 Jul 2026 14:43:54
So far just 2 signings incoming.

Just 5 weeks of the window remain.

26 Jul 2026 18:13:54
Zetterstrom at Derby would be good, but might regard being our No2 as a bit of a comedown after playing for Sweden in the World Cup.

26 Jul 2026 18:29:57
Darlow should have been signed up to a longer contract with more money well before the season ended.
Talk now that there is a complication with Perri's potential move because of agent's financial demands and who pays it.
Nightmare are agents. The players employ the agents and they should pay them.

26 Jul 2026 20:18:51
Why does it always take us forever to get transfers done.

26 Jul 2026 00:37:04
Harrison gone to New England Revolution, permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.

26 Jul 2026 09:20:45
Joe Tiffany reporting £4 million. Amazing bit of business if that's accurate.

26 Jul 2026 09:23:29
Others on the site are suggesting a top six-figure sum, i.e. under a million.

26 Jul 2026 10:03:04
Sounds more realistic, and more than he's worth to us, so I'll take it.

26 Jul 2026 10:40:31
4 mill may include the wages we save?

26 Jul 2026 11:45:54
You could be right there, Canada. Whatever it is, it's the best for all concerned.

26 Jul 2026 14:16:43
Liked Harrison in Bielsa era. But anything is good now. Don't get the hatred. He played a lot of games for us and did his best. Long time retired, right. In general, life that we live. Most of the time $ counts.

25 Jul 2026 16:23:05
According to Sky Sports, Brandt has had offers from Leeds and Ajax but prefers a PL option. However, he's still waiting to see if he gets interest from Serie A.
One of his recent postings had an hour glass in it which might mean the time is coming for a decision to be made.

25 Jul 2026 21:04:48
The hourglass is on his profile but it's been there a while.

26 Jul 2026 04:58:46
Realistically, if he wants to be a starter, he needs to get as much of pre season with his new team as possible, so he should make a decision this week.

26 Jul 2026 08:14:25
Agree, Aus. We can't hang around like we have done in the past. Think, financially and squad wise, a Brandt deal makes sense, but it needs to get done or move on.

25 Jul 2026 10:33:18
Leeds have talked with Norwegian GK Ørjan Nyland who impressed at the WC for a number 2.

25 Jul 2026 10:50:27
End of his career and a good second string for us, but think he'd want to be number 1.

25 Jul 2026 07:13:35
One of the alleged ITK posters on WACCOE saying Brandt to Leeds is done. Haven't heard it from any of my other sources yet though. 🇩🇪 👀.

25 Jul 2026 08:05:14
Interesting. I've said my piece.

25 Jul 2026 12:34:59
I've read elsewhere that he's agreed a 2yr deal?

26 Jul 2026 02:24:18
I'll believe it when I see it. Since we were told he was "close to signing" 5 weeks ago, I won't be holding my breath.

26 Jul 2026 05:54:05
Now seen that it's a 3 Yr deal on the table! Believe no one!!

24 Jul 2026 20:48:00
Perri loan to Torino will go through when the Trafford deal is done according to Fab.

24 Jul 2026 23:43:35
Any idea if there's an obligation to buy Alf?

25 Jul 2026 01:18:46
Are we certain it's a case of "When the Trafford deal is done", or might it still be "If the Trafford deal is done"?
We'd still need to find a reasonable No 2 GK, because Cairns is not that man.

25 Jul 2026 07:11:59
Fab said 'when', but ofc, until the ink is dry on the contract, anything could happen. It feels like this is expected to go through, barring something unusual.

25 Jul 2026 07:16:39
Unsure on that, Canada, atm. Some sources have said 'option' while others have said 'obligation'. So could be either!

25 Jul 2026 09:50:52
It should be obligation. We're always a bit of a soft touch when loaning players out.

25 Jul 2026 12:35:51
Alternatively, I've read that we want a sale to help fund our spending?

24 Jul 2026 08:45:50
On plane watch @ LBA, private jet from Gdansk in Poland. Could this be DCL's back-up Tomas Bobcek, 6'2" 20 goals in 30 games, Slovakian international, 24 years old? Clutching at straws here, probs a load of rubbish, but worth a punt.

24 Jul 2026 10:12:25
He would be good signing looking in on YouTube two-footed goal scorer young with pace.

25 Jul 2026 10:03:14
Good in the air, quick, good turn, and presses well. Seems to be valued at £8-10m by the club.
He may not be the one, but there are players out there in Europe who are much better value than buying in the domestic market.

25 Jul 2026 10:27:58
Stay at airport Mr Bean. Keep us informed. 👍

25 Jul 2026 12:38:11
"Good in the air"?
I thought you were talking planes initially, Dunelm.

25 Jul 2026 16:31:12
Haha. 😂

24 Jul 2026 08:11:24
According to Patrick Berger, we are interested in €15-20m rated Ermedin Demirovic of Stuttgart. He plays as a forward and is 28yo.

24 Jul 2026 08:51:40
I'd welcome the signing, but I'm not sure how serious the link is. We're linked with him every window, so I'm unsure if it's lazy journalism or if there's substance to it.

I'd sooner target someone with closer to a 1 in 2 strike rate.

Demirovic is at 1 in 2.44 in his last 4 Bundesliga seasons. Considering he hasn't played for 'elite' clubs in the league, this is a reasonable return, but there may be better options out there.

24 Jul 2026 08:03:23
According to Joe Tiffany on X, Charles has asked Saints for a move. Fed up with them pricing him out apparently.

24 Jul 2026 08:53:49
Fingers crossed this gets them to accept, Alf! Be a great signing. Very keen to bolster in the middle of the park, and his value will likely triple over the length of his next contract with constant exposure to Premier League football.
